So, these Solaris Cluster nodes are media servers?

You need to tell us more about your config - have you configured App Cluster in NBU where STU is configured with Virtual name instead of node names?

There is a section in NetBackup in Highly Available Environments Administrator's Guide that explains how to config clustered media server nodes as Application Cluster in NetBackup.
Topic: About virtual storage units in a NetBackup cluster.

Please go through this section and tell us if that is how your media servers are configured.
Else tell us about your config and a bit more about your 'bad issues'.

the netbackup was installed correctly but after every crash of the cluster , we are facing this problem the node media server is not wrking correclty  like we have just 3 mm process which are started instead of six :

MM Processes

------------

    root  7621     1   0 09:17:02 ?           0:02 /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/ltid

    root  7767  7621   0 09:17:10 ?           0:01 avrd

    root  7629     1   0 09:17:02 ?           0:26 vmd

You will need to enable logs to troubleshoot:

Add VERBOSE entry to /usr/openv/volmgr/vm.conf.
Create /usr/openv/volmgr/debug folder with the following folders under debug:
robots
daemon
ltid
oprd
reqlib
tpcommand

Restart NBU and check above logs as well as /var/adm/messages next time this happens.

Have you determined why this server is crashing so often?
